Mr. Pagel has been promoted from Sr. Director, Operator and Channel Sales, North America to VP Sales. Mr. Munford is currently Non-Executive Director at Sophos and brings extensive security experience to the board. The appointments strengthen NetMotion's leadership team as the company sees increasing demand for its mobile connectivity and field productivity solutions.

"Ms. Chan, Mr. Pagel and Mr. Munford are all incredibly experienced executives who understand how to help companies scale," said Christopher Kenessey, CEO of NetMotion Software. "There is an urgent need among enterprises for solutions that can help them compete and better serve their customers in an increasingly mobile world. Ms. Chan, Mr. Pagel and Mr. Munford bring unique skills and a depth of knowledge that will help us as we accelerate our growth and expand our market presence."

Ms. Chan was previously Managing Member of PMChan PLLC, a CFO consulting practice for venture-backed emerging technology companies. As CFO of Cheezburger, she assisted in closing $30MM in Series A financing. In her Corporate Controller and Corporate Treasurer role at Isilon Systems, Chan was instrumental in completing the company's IPO in December 2006. She managed Isilon's growth from $8 million to a $1 billion valuation over a six-year period.

"I am excited to join NetMotion as it moves into its next phase of growth," said Ms. Chan. "The quality of their product, strength of their leadership team and passion for serving customers is second to none."

I look forward to harnessing these strengths to rapidly grow our customer base in North America."
